Etowah River Trail

The Etowah river was running full after all the recent rain. There are a lot of trails here, starting out in Boling Park in Canton. We followed the easy flat river trail for a ways, past Monument Rock with carvings dated 1894 and crossed the bridge built by local Boy Scout Troop 241. Then we branched off onto the orange loop trail along the rock-bottom stream, where we spotted an Indian Trail tree up on the ridge pointing toward the river - can you see it? Here's a closeup.
